This is a good overview of the political forms that have emerged in the course of the history of Islamic polities and of the attitudes, deriving primarily but not exclusively from Islam, that contributed to creating them. The title seems somewhat misleading, though. One might expect an intellectual history that covers Islamic philosophy as it relates to political life, but this is not what is on offer. The "thought" that is treated is tacit and implicit in Islamic history. So the book might better be seen as a brief historical sketch of Islamic political attitudes and presuppositions. As such it is quite helpful.
